So! I'm back for now but my classes have spread out their mid exams along with extra mini tests so I will be kinda swamped with that and work but I will still be updating, just not as frequently as I thought. Real life is a Bi*ch huh?
NOW! I am still allowing PMing as long as it is RESPECTFUL! If you guys do anything like what those assholes did to me in the previous story, immediate block. No warning, nothing. Immediate block is what you get when you decide to be an asshole. Ahem, don't be afraid of lengthy comments, I tend to enjoy those the most and I do hope you all enjoy this story.
"IMPOSSIBLE! IMPOSSIBLE,' Shigaraki screeched as he watched the Chaldean hero go toe to toe with their Nomu. No matter how many times the nomu struck the heor never seemed to get injured or falter, the energy around him just seemed to increase as he roared out again and again.
"You're too confident in yourself," Chiron warned, shooting an arrow to the child, because he was screeching like one. "Best learn that underestimating your opponents is not the best course of action."
"I HATE YOU CHALDEANS! I HOPE THOSE DOLLS KILL EVERYONE IN YOUR HEADQUARTERS!"
"You assume that it would be our people dying in our agency," Nightingale hummed as she shot more men and women, watching them scream before falling down. "You are sicker than I originally believed."
"Powerful or not, you have your tank here! So your office is left with a bunch of mid-tier bosses," Shigaraki snarled, eyes wild behind his mask as he looked between the two of them, Chiron chuckling lightly as he continued to take down foes.
"Oh now that's funny," Chiron laughed as he aimed once more. "Aren't Kintoki and Hijikata due back from their trip in the mountains today?"
"They are," Edmond yelled from where he had the monster in a headlock. "They should have already been in the agency by the time they attacked.
"Well then...I see that the monster problem is taken care of so long as Tamamoe-san keeps by them," Nightinage shrugged. 'Everyone else will be itching for a fight, so it's most likey taking longer than usual.
"Huh?"
CHALDEAN HEADQUARTERS, JAPAN
"SHINSENGUMIIIIIII!"
"NOW LET'S GET THIS PARTY GOLDEN, RIGHT!"
The two men, monsters in human skin, roared as they rushed to the nomu. The thing screeched as they slammed into it, sending it flying into the walls that SHOULD have broken but they didn't. They began assaulting the things with slashes, shots, punches and kick that would have torn it apart if not for it's high durability.
"OI, OI! MY BARRIER CAN ONLY HOLD UP AFTER SO MUCH FORCE," a woman yelled as one man ripped his Katana out of his sheath and plunged it to the nomu. "TAKE IT DOWN A NOTCH!"
"YEAH, YEAH," the blonde one yelled as he summoned forth a wicked looking axe. "Let's end this thing! Hijikata-san!"
"ARRRGH," the man, he was so lithe, roared as he threw the nomu to the other who laughed as he jumped in the air to meet the flailing thing. He brought his axe down, taking off it's arm before he yelped, dodging a barrage of bullets that suddenly appeared.
"Out of the way Kintoki," Nobunaga yelled as she summoned more rifles. "I'll blast this thing full of holes," she laughed maniacally as Okita kept her 6 o'clock protected. "Nobukatsu! Help the demon king!" She barked to her brother who was hurridly attempting to get her more powerful guns.
"R...Right sister," he nodded, running to the avenger Nobu who was engulfing the enemies in a ring of fire, Okita Alter slashing them down while they ran around like chickens.
"Send those Nobu's out and into the agency! Smoke the rats out," Demon Nobu barked to her brother who saluted before jumping out of the way of Mori Nagayoshi's spear as it sailed past to slam into the nomu.
"OI, OI, OI," Kintoki yelled as he dropped down and ripped the spear out. "This is our beast to fight," he whined, throwing the spear back to the berserker who caught it with a grin. "What's with all of you trying to steal our golden light!"
Hijikata merely roared our another 'Shinsengumi' before charging the beast head on like a sumo would, the man too gone in his madness enhancement to notice the bickering.
"Don't hog the monster," the man laughed as he joined the fray. "Let us have some fun," he roared, slamming the spear down into the thing's heart. Hijikata had it in a headlock when Mori did so, smiling as the thing let out a pained wail at the assault it was suffering from.
"It's not a regular monster," Tomoe warned as she shot a villain who tried to get behind Mori. "It's man made. It will be harder to take down."
"Nothing we haven't fought before," Mori yelled before groaning as a hand nearly went through his stomach. "Now this is going to be fun!"
"Those idiots," Shiki sighed as she took her knife out of the back of one villains who choked in pain. "Honestly, they're gonna destroy the barrier at this rate and the master is gonna get pissed."
"I think he'll be more worried about the fight in the USJ at the moment and being underestimated," Tawara smiled as he dropped down from his post after something was shot at him.
"So...so it's true," a man yelled. "The vice director isn't the vice director! He's the Master of Chaldea!"
"Your all so stupid for revealing that," another laughed, backing off as he grabbed his communicator only to yelp as he hand was nearly taken off.
"Are we," Miss Crane hummed as she slammed her staff onto the ground reinforcing the barrier. "Why would we be cautious when we have no plans on letting you go free," she smiled as more heroes jumped down.
"Shit...were in over our heads here…." one murmured as the whole second floor was covered with heroes, eyes gleaming with a special insanity as thew urge to fight began to well inside of them.
"Now...let's finish this no," Miss Crane smiled as they rushed on them.
"Monsters! Their monsters," a woman cried out as she rushed deeper into the depths of the agency. "I need to hide...I need to get out!"
"You're not going too."
"Huh-Ack," she cried as she was caught up in tape...no these were snakes.
'Good Orochi," a girl in a priestess outfit cooed as a boy with flaming red hair approached, knife in hand.
"You are all like rats scurrying where you don't belong," he murmured, dragging the knife across her open collar as the building shook between the fight of those three monsters. "Mochizuki-san...how is everyone else."
"We are working to get the last of the stragglers...Seraphix has sent a message to Hassan for help to make sure we don't miss a rat Kotaro-kun."
"Good," he nodded. "Send her to Seraphix," he snarled, pushing her into the girls arms.
"Understood," she nodded. "You better enjoy this time because you will not be treated with any kindness after this," she whispered in the villain's ear.
She couldn't help but cry.
MOUNTAIN ZONE
"MOMO! BEHIND YOU," Jirou called out in warning as a man raised a bar over her head.
The girl jumped where she was huddled, falling on her behind as she stared up at the weapon coming down on her.
"Not on my watch," Robin's voice rang through the air as several arrows pierced the man.
"AARGH," he yelled, falling to the ground as Denki grabbed Momo to drag her away.
"Leave this cave for a moment kiddos," Robin said as he loaded another arrow.
'No! He's incapacitated! He'll pass out from blood loss," Jirou gasped out, grabbing his arm with the arrow. "You don't have to kill-"
"He was going to kill your classmate! I'm not taking a chance! Now do as I say and leave," he roared, pushing her off of him and onto the ground. "I am the hero! You are the student," he snarled. "You listen to me and my judgement!"
"But...he...he's a human and person too," Denki cried, looking afraid as his eyes locked on the loaded crossbow the hero had. "He...he doesn't deserve this!"
"I...I have the gas masks ready," Momo coughed, showing the finished product. "Use the poison to incapacitate them all!...Please," she begged, her entire body was shaking as she was begging for a man's life. Begging for a man's life who no doubt wanted to kill her, she was begging for him to live so he wouldn't leave anyone behind.
"Get them on now," he barked, grabbing the groaning man before tossing him out of the cave. "Whatever you hear," he warned. "Do not come out."
"Huh," they asked before hurriedly placing the masks on promptly with his glare.
"Leave the rest to me," he breathed, heading out. "Now….Tree of Mourning. Bare they Fangs."
"Is it me or is his crossbow glowing," Denki whispered as they looked to the man.
"Bow of Prayer! Yew Bow," he yelled, a single gleaming arrow being fired off from his bow. Suddenly a cloud of purple smoke appeared before their eyes, the sound of coughing and screams raising through the air.
"Wh...what has he done," Jirou swallowed as their screams soon silenced.
Suddenly they gasped as he turned to them, crossbow aimed at them before he fired. It sailed past them cleanly and into the ground between the three of them.
"Don't look down," he warned, just as they felt something wet and...warm bubble up into their hands and knees.
"No….No way," Denki shakily breathed out as Robin ordered them to come with him. "N...no way…"
"We can leave. Their all incapacitated….but don't look at them," he nodded, the three swallowing. "I would rather you all remain a bit more innocent when we leave."
Was this really the man who was joking with Billy the Kid merely half an hour ago. One who so chivalrously gave Toru his coat...one who was comforting them when he was fighting the people outside.
He seemed to have noticed their looks and apprehension as he heaved out a sigh, turning towards them with cold eyes.
"There is a time and a place to be happy and jovial," he sighed, grabbing a cigarette before lighting it. "And I'm not one one to simply….abandon my morals for being jovial for the sake of society."
"But…"
"Let's go. There's a risk of the poison spreading to other areas. I want to dissipate it as soon a possible," he coughed, stomping the item out. "Come on."
They simply followed in silence, looking straight ahead even if the urge to look to the side grew stronger with each step they took.
RUINS ZONE
"Fuckers aren't they," Billy sighed as he raised his arm up to the side and shot, not even bothering to look that way. The groan told him he was still alive though. "Shit," he sighed, looking up as a purple haze engulfed a training sight. "Robin better get those people out," he grumbled.
"Is that his quirk," Kirishima asked as he flinched at another shot and thump.
"I guess? He has a super rare poison that comes from a tree that was thought to be extinct. It's deadly, powerful and only he knows how to make the antipoison," Billy shrugged. "He doesn't usually make the cloud, but when he does no one but him is safe. So that Momo girl must be with them."
"He can't control it,' Bakugou grunted as he looked away from the bodies.
"Nah, he can," Billy shrugged. "But why would he? There here to kill y'all. So in turn we return the favor."
"There are people too! And they deserve a chance! You should let us help and then we can get out of here quicker," Kirishima began only to freeze at the hero's look.
"Look kid," he sighed, hand on his hip as the other holding the gun hung limpy at his side. "I like you. I like the spunk you have and I like that attitude...but you gotta fix it. Being like that in a world that's cruel like this is gonna end up hurting you more than you think it will."
"Then I'll simply have to change the world," Kirishima began. "So people like you don't need to be here."
In retrospect, there was probably a better way he could have phrased that and the moment Billy pursed his lips looking with a few taps of his feet, the two boys knew they hit a nerve.
"Listen here boy," he began, approaching the teen who stepped back only to yelp when his back hit a wall. Billy's hand went to slam next to his head, eyes boring into Kirishima's. "I'm here to save you and I'll be putting up with your complaints for a while now."
"I only do that because I know you..you've had a lot of pressure on you and I think you could benefit-" he flinched when the hand grabbed his hair and pushed his head further back into the wall, barring his neck.
"You seem to be under the impression that I am someone that gives a shit," Billy drawled out, eyes glowing as he stared up into Kirishima's "Because...I really don't."
"We don't have time for this shit. Let's just go-" BANG!
Bakugou jumped back when the bullet landed a few inches from his feet, Billy not even looking at the boy as he contemplated Kirishima before him.
"All I'm saying is what your doing is wrong," the boy began. "The way you go about it is wrong."
"There ain't right or wrong way to do things," Billy hissed. "There is a way and then stupid people decide whats good or bad. Then you decide to determine your life of being a goodie two shoes or a wanna be baddie by what stupid people think. That's bullshit and it certainly ain't way to live life."
"That's the difference between a villain or a hero," Kirishima was getting ballsy.
"They called me a villain back then," Billy smiled like he knew something they didn't. "But I still kept doing what I was doing. Couldn't give two shits what people thought. Even when my friend went against me...after all I didn't do people labeled me as a problem...and he was sent to deal with me."
"But you changed…"
"No...I really haven't." Billy sighed before releasing the boy. "We ain't' got time for this. Let's go."
"But-" The look the red head received stopped him in his tracks. "Sorry…"
"Shut it shitty hair, unless you actually want to get beat up," Bakugou grumbled, eyes on Billy as the man looked ahead. "As nice and joking as he was with us...he's still a Chaldean hero. And he still prefers to kill than talk shit through."
"I can hold myself back," Billy scoffed. "But when them villains aim for the kill? I anwser back kindly," he winked. "It's only common courtesy after all."
The two hero students remained silent as they followed him to the exit.
WINDSTORM ZONE
"I'm assuming you only heard their cries," Ashiya smiled as Tokoyami held Koda close to him. "Oya? My, what a green around the ears child you have," he cooed as Koda tried to step back. "Not built for heroics I see."
"He's going to be a rescue hero," Tokoyami had to put some distance between the two of them.
"Rescue hero," the man hummed before chuckling. "Ah, you all never fail to not amuse me," he breathed, the rain seemingly coming down harder as they went under an awning. "Special classifications...not unlike Chaldea...but totally different. It's amusing really."
"What is that supposed to mean," Dark Shadow snapped before Tokoyami could reel him in.
"Nothing, nothing...just that a hero is not defined by characteristics...but by how they go about their heroing...or so i've heard," he brushed off. "I don't really concern myself with heroics or the like," he sniffed as he looked out into the pouring rain. "It's not my thing, as you children say."
"Aren't you a Chaldean hero," Koda whispered. "You work closely with the vice director...and you where their during the sludge incident.
"In name only really. I serve the vice director more than Chaldea….I'm only there because of him," he shrugged. "Chaldea is more a placeholder for all of us. Not all of us are heroes after all, that's just stupid."
"So...you're an independent hero," Tokoyami found himself asking as they continued their trek through the city.
"If you must call me such. I'm more a...servant of the vice director," he smiled. "And I would serve no one else," he giggled. "I do so adore my master."
"Are you like a butler or something...that's a part time hero?"
"I guess; if that's the closest you can come to," Ashiya hummed, smiling as he saw the door. "Closer than we realized, though...no doubt guarded heavily," he hummed just as the rain stopped. "Right on time."
He was right about the gate being guarded.
At least 2 dozen villains.
"As much as I would love to play, I would rather get back to my master," he sneered, Shikigami floating around him as he focused.
"And what are they going to do….." the man trailed off as suddenly Shikigami slammed into their faces making their bodies go lax.
"Now," he smiled, brushing off his clothes as he walked forward. "You all stay here like good puppets and enjoy the show why don't you," he winked as he snapped his fingers.
Like and eruption they all began to scream in place like some demented chorus, Koda having slammed his back into the wall as they did so.
"W..what's happening," Tokoyami yelled over their screams, moving to be infront of Koda who was breathing rapidly.
"Just a little vision I'm showing them. No need for the details," he winked as the two hero students stepped back further into the wall.
He was insane.
"Time to go~!"
FRONT OF USJ
"How's the door coming along," Ascelipus yelled as Thirteen went down. "Stupid woman!" He cursed, making Fidi drag her closer before sending two more men down the stairs.
"Not very nice for a hero," Kurogiri commented, bringing up more villains for the man to fight. He didn't see an wearing down of the man, how strong was his stamina if he was only a medic hero?
"If you haven't noticed I couldn't care less at the moment," he snapped back, sending Fidi after him once more. "CHILDREN!" He called out, eyes wild as he tried to keep a clear semi circle to protect them.
"It's too tough," Mezou yelled back, struggling as he looked back to the villains getting closer. "I think the mechanism got locked in place!"
"I'll need some of you to help me then," Ascelpius demanded. "Acid girl! Hit them in the face!"
"What! I can't do that," Mina gasped, hand over her mouth as he ordered her to do it. "Th..tha...I can't!" She screamed as a villain got close before the snake grabbed him by the leg and flung him into the fountain.
"Damn it girl! Hit them in the face with your acid! It won't kill them for god's sake," he snapped, slamming his staff down to where the warp man was laying, cursing as he rolled out of the way.
"But-"
"On my authority as a Chaldean hero...MAIM THEM FOR GOD'S SAKE," he yelled as Fidi threw a villain off the top of the stairs into the fountain where a sickening crunch was heard.
"I...I…"
'DO IT OR DO YOU WANT TO DIE LIKE A SHEEP WAITING FOR SLAUGHTER!" he roared out, eyes wild as he turned to the fear stricken girl. "YOU CHOOSE THE LIFE OF A HERO, NOW YOU MUST FIGHT TO LIVE ANOTHER DAY!"
"Damn it," the girl yelled before shooting out her acid, letting it fly wildly as the other watched.
The villains screamed as they rushed back out of the line of fire right into the snakes waiting embrace where it would either constrict them or toss them down to the fountain where the first merely floated in the water face down.
"You're ruthless as expected," Kurogiri noted as Asclepius looked back to the students. "Chaldea really is a villain organization under the guise of a hero."
"Honestly we never claimed to be a hero organization," the caster ground out, glaring at the man. "Were just continuing to do the things we've done before! It you stupid people who decide what's a heroic and whats villainous! Stupid people!"
"Is that why you-"
"We made it clear to your goons what our stance is, it won't change," he snarled magic crackling around him as he stared down the man. "Not back then and not."
"You slaughtered our people."
"Like you already didn't do the same," Asclepius whispered, glaring at the man who made it possible for his co-workers and comrades to be nearly killed. "Like it wasn't you...who nearly got everyone I cared about killed."
"Sentimentality is another flaw of your agency."
"Like we care." Asclepius murmured, tears welling in his eyes as he thought of the humans staff. "They where family...and I will avenge them."
"I see…:
The two yelled before they locked together, pushing against one another in a battle for supremacy.
FIRE ZONE
"I thought these people were supposed to be tough...or is that S tier villains," Angra asked as he and Ojiro strolled through the flame zone. It was oddly quiet, aside from the crackling of flames and some of the buildings falling down in the simulation.
"I..I think your thinking of S ranked villains," the boy offered up, flinching at the crunch and scream that sounded in the alley next to them. "It's a tier list."
"I don't get why you just use letters like that," Angra shrugged. "In chaldea we have classifications...like classes in a JRPG game!" He smiled brightly, giving the tailed teen a thumbs up that he wearily did back.
"Monk….priest and stuff like that," Ojiro cocked his head to the side. "Is that what you mean at least?"
"Yeah," Angra grinned as he sent another wave of shadows out. "We have Saber! Archer. Lancer. We got Casters and Riders!"
"That sounds cool, is there a leader of each faction," Ojiro hummed as they continued their trek through the burning simulations, groans now sounding out throught the midst of crackling and crumbling.
"Heck no! All those pompous personalities trying to determine a leader," he laughed like the infighting between his coworkers was normal. "Nah, master is the one that reigns all them in. Including me," he winked as Ojiro nodded.
"Seems like the Master of Chaldea commands much respect," he smiled.
"Yeah..he does," Angra gave a small, sincere smile that let Ojiro know he really respected him. "Even when people said they would kill him for the slightest slip up...he still cared for us."
"Wait what," Ojiro gasped as Angra continued to muse.
"I always knew that Chadea was rambunctious...but I never expected it to want to kill their own master for something simple as a mistake," a new voice spoke as Angra took out his weapon, pushing Ojiro behind him with a hiss.
"You're not one of these weak-o's that I've been taking out...your one of us," Angra grinned as the tapping of shoes came closer. "How about we….duke it out…" he trailed off as the man appeared.
"I'm one of your allies. I have information on the other rogues that are out in the world," the man was so refined as his cane tapped on the ground. "The other rouges who've allied with you should be arriving at the embassies soon...I've kept my existence a secret for now... I can't be seen for now," he swallowed. "I merely wanted to pass this on to one of the Master's most trusted."
'You should tell him yourself, coward," Angra snapped. "And we've heard of information about not only the group that contacted us and one that HE has, but one that is acting out on it's own."
"I know," the man sighed, his hair falling over his eyes before he heaved another heavy sigh. "But I can't! I still need to look into things and help the Master as much as I can before things get out of hand! Like the third group you explained to me. I have a feeling they'll be on our side, but I need to determine their true names first before going forward!"
"Anything else, aside from me basically betraying my master," Angra snapped, eyes narrowing as his open hand closed into a shaking fist. "I can't just give him nothing, with a meeting like this happening after all."
"Two…" he nodded, clenching the top of the cane tightly. "Be wary of Archimedes for now, his loyalties are loose at best. And keep the prisoners away from his sight when they are taken to seraphix and….make sure to keep them away from him until well after the end," he cautioned. "Second...well, I don't think he's alone in Moon Cell. It seems that an old ghost has come up to help and he MIGHT be willing to join Chaldea. If you can make it interesting."
"Fucker...I knew he couldn't be trusted," Angra cursed. "I have a feeling that the Seraph staff might know?"
"Hmm," he nodded. "He's...a complicated fellow. He seems to find Fujimaru interesting enough to consider joining. So I would make sure not to make things to boring for him."
"Tch," Angra clucked his tongue before nodding. "Anything else?"
"No, I'll be taking my leave now," the man nodded. "I've taken care of the rest of the pests. So you're free to leave, it's straight down there," he pointed left. "The door is cracked open enough to get though."
"We need to leave now," a second voice spoke as Angra sputtered. His glower turned into a full one heated glare as he pointed an accusing finger at the second man.
"Now way! You're here! Working with him," Angra demanded as the second man appeared, in his hand a shield. "The fuck Galahad! Master's been going crazy trying to find you!"
"I have my reasons, but I am loyal to Chaldea," he nodded. "I can't show my face with Archimedes...not when he tried to erase my spirit origin from the box."
"What," Angra looked fearful at that. Was that something important to chaldea? "He...he can do that?" He took a step back as fear settled over him. "He can delete spirit origins!"
"Yeah," he sighed. "I managed to put a lock on everyone but he's working on getting it off so he can have leverage. I also want you to warn master to cover his tracks. That False Clairvoyant is getting antsy the more you all act on your own...the current scandal isn't working in your favor," Galahad hummed as Angra snarled.
"Go, before they wake," the first urged. "We need to leave before we're spotted.
"Thanks," Angra nodded as he grabbed Ojiro's hand, making them leave the two of them behind as the fire burned hotter than before.
"Who...who was that," Ojiro asked as they rushed to the exit.
"An acquaintance," he swallowed. "One that the Master is either going to bemoan or hate."
"It seems like they are trying to help."
"They are...it's just annoying how they got about it."
LANDSLIDE ZONE
"Behind you," Geronimo yelled as he threw his knife into the collar of a villain that nearly got the jump on Shouto. "We managed to make it far without too much trouble...it seems like they're getting desperate now."
"How far are we from the gate Toru," Shouto asked the girl from where she was perched on a tree.
"Another kilometer or so," she sighed, she jumped down into the waiting arms of Geronimo who smiled at her before patting her head.
"No worries," the man smiled, "my friends should be coming around in a moment. So he journey will be easier without the threat of them finding us."
Just as he said that the lights went out.
"HUH," the villains began to yell out in confusion and fear as they began to stumble around in the dark. "WHO TURNED OFF THE LIGHTS!"
"Grab onto me and I'll make sure we get out without too much of a hitch," they heard the man whisper to them. "Luckily I am familiar with surroundings such as this."
"How did you get here in the first place," Shouto demanded as they stopped when a villain rushed by them. "You weren't originally there when the villains attacked…"
"It's a bit of Chaldean tech." He huffed out a small laugh. "No need to worry about it too much, just focus on getting out alright?"
"Why hasn't I-Island patented this tech for the rest of the agencies," Toru whispered as another group of villains rushed by. "It could be life saving after all! And help many operations go smoother!"
"That's because it was produced in house and not through I-Island. We don't have any techs on the island, they all work in Chaldea." He explained, making the stop as a gaggle of villains stumbled by cursing their luck and trying to get some footing in the loose dirt.
"But...you…" the girl stumbled for some sort of explanation.
"You're smart enough to know we aren't one to follow the rules of this world," he huffed. "Chaldea's tech is Chaldea's only," he reminded them. "And those on I-Island may be fighting us for it...but they won't get it."
"That's not fair to the other heroes who are struggling to get to their co-workers and-" Toru was cut off as he looked at her.
"Then they should focus on making those items then," he smiled before drawing something on the door before them. "And not rely on patents of others."
The door opened wide enough for them to get out and long enough before it closed on the villains who pounded on it to let them out.
"The simulation should be running now," they heard him murmur as their yelps rang through the door.
SHIPWREAK ZONE
"Oh dear," Ritsuka hummed as he looked out across the water. "It seems like some of them are still alive," he leaned back, voice casual as Izuku rushed to the railing.
He resisted the urge to puke at the sight of the fried villains, some groaning as others floated uselessly in the water. They were still smoking as some water still crackled with the electricity.
"I'll make a path for us," Ritsuka rolled his wrist as he went to speak another spell. He gasped when Izuku grabbed his arm, forcing it down with a bit more force than he expected. "What the hell are you doing," Ritsuka gasped as Izuku glowered at him. "I am trying to get us out of here!"
"Not like this! Some of them could die by drowning right now! We need to drain the pool," Izuku gasped as Ritsuka rolled his eyes. "Look at them!"
"Then it would be a good thing to let them die," the Vice Director drawled, smiling at Izuku's horror stricken face. "I've been in situations like this before. Trust me when I say that this is the best course of action. If you want to get out of this without fear, this is the best course of action."
"This is mass murder," Izuku wailed out, pushing his teacher back away from the rail. "This is not heroics-"
"This is survival," Ritsuka interrupted as his circuits began to flare up. "And you're a fool, I thought you were smart? You should know that someone like me doesn't need to do things precisely the same way twice?"
"DON'T-"
"Einfrieren.*"
Like Todoroki's quirk the air around them turned viciously cold as the boat frosted over. Izuku and Tsuyu looked down in shock, awe and horror as the frost turned to solid ice. The villains screamed at one another to leave and get out of the water but it was too late as they soon were encased in the cold prisons.
"I see there are still rats out," Ritsuka sighed as he removed himself from the wall of the boat as some villains dug themselves out. "Eisscherben*," he simply said as they ran across the vast expanse of ice.
Izuku flinched as shards of ice exploded from the ground piercing the men but not killing them. They screamed and wailed in pain and the shards pierced both the front and backs of their bodies holding them down where they were, alive wet and slowly freezing and bleeding out as the three looked on.
"Let's go," Ritsuka nodded, moving to jump down before Izuku grabbed his wrist again. "Boy...if your going to judge me-"
'Why are you so cruel," Izuku whimpered. "Why do you see life as something you can so easily take! How is this heroics! How can you think what your doing is good, how can you think this is the right way to do things," he demanded, his voice hoarse as he demanded an answer from the man.
It was silent as the two stared at one another, one determined, angry and uncertain as the other stood tall, firm and silent.
"It's not," he admitted. "I'm not...because the world is cruel and I want to show you that even a hero can show cruelty-"
"By all accounts you're not a hero! You're a civilian! So you are committing mass murder," Izuku roared, clenching the wrist tighter. "You say that your a registered hero...but even the commissions is not that desperate to have someone like you!"
"You have balls to go against me," Ritsuka smiled, he grabbed Izuku wrist throwing him into the rail before trapping him between his hands, one going up to his chin wrenching it to force the boy to look him in the eyes. "I do so enjoy that rebellion. It brings me back to better times..."
'You won't break me," Izuku began. "I-"
"I don't intend to. I want you to understand," Ritsuka began. "You cannot change Chaldea. Fundamentally….we are both human and inhuman in many senses," he smiled. "I was like you once...and now I am...this," he cocked his head to the side as he seemingly gave a fulfilling answer.
"That's not an excuse." Izuku murmured, shaking as his teacher's breath fanned over him.
"No, it's not and we are very well aware of that fact boy," Ritsuka murmured. "But we can't change...not when it's allowed us to survive for so long...we can't change. It's our blood…"
"Kero...we need to leave and help those in the plaza," Tsuyu spoke up, Ritsuka turning to her before releasing Izuku with a nod.
"Right," he smiled, motioning to the railing. "Come along then. I am sure that the rest of my people as well are leaving their respective areas. We tend to sync like that."
The two hero students looked to one another before swallowing as they jumped down to the icy ground below, unsure of what awaited them in the future.
